Crap...forget the Jazz...the world is falling apart. This is awful...but the sad thing is that it happens all the time so we're pretty numb to it.

I saw that, that's one of the most disturbing things in the world. The worst part about this is, if this was a regular 20 year old guy, I'd put my life on it that nothing would probably have happened from it. It's sick!

nothing would happen with a normal 20 year old?
hell yeah it would. if the parents of the girls decided to press charges, you better bet that a normal 20 year old would be up shit creek

He's probably going to get off the rape charge... maybe plead it down to a misdemeanor and get probabation. The good news is that the girl will probably receive many millions of dollars in a civil suit. NBA atheletes are pretty good targets if you want to get a big settlement.

I phrased that wrong Murph, I meant to say it would be swept under the rug and no one would care about the fact that there is a 20 year old man having sex with a 14 year old girl. Because it is an athlete, everyone has an opinion on it.

Regardless, that's just nasty!

Athletes have a different punishment. They rarely get punished by the judicial system, but they get crucified by the public since every aspect of the event is published.

I think the mom is in it for the money. He new the girl for 5 years and told her mom over the phone that they were having sex.

I wouldn't put it past someone to whore out their daughter to get a big payoff. We live in a sick world.
